congratumalations mr daniel masque! brilliant that it was a member of the boards that got picked!
loving the figure loving the design my first thought was is that what castle grayskull was made of? is it actually that guys skull? not really seen a clear pic yet but the ones i have seen show a brilliant design hope the bio comes out to your satisfaction!

when your world turns upside down, laugh at the people standing on their heads!

Congrats Daniel! I could see the Sorceress using her magic to create these guys out of parts of Castle Grayskull. I love the swords and shield from the original Castle Grayskull as weapons, I always wanted those!

I am sad that not a SINGLE figure in the 30th Anniversary line is a female (Terry Higuchi's was confirmed male and a villain a LONG time ago), so I find it very disappointing on Mattel's part for not making sure the 30th line exhibited the same diversity the MOTU line as a whole has FOR 30 years. That's a criticism of the 30th line as a whole, not the CAC winner, who I am very happy for.

I have to be totally honest: when I FIRST saw the picture of the entry, I was shocked because I was hoping for something truly original like a werewolf or some freaky creature thing that is unlike anything we have in the line so far. I took a little while to post because I wanted it to sink in a bit and make sure I wasn't wearing my jealousy hat!

The only think I would change on this figure would be the head. It reminds me of Hulk Hogan...a LOT for some reason.

Not sure how it works. I really hope we are allowed to talk about them!

Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.

Come on, hulkerine. Just admit that you admire me and get it over with. It's okay. It's not the end of the world to think I'm cool...

Cool look - but I dont get how it fits the cannon - he better be EVIL!! Here's an idea - Skeletor raised a zombie corpse from the grounds of Castle Grayskull and created the evil Castle Grayskull Man - it would make a good army builder... If he's good - then I am BLAH about it. The spirit of Grayskull shouldn’t be able to act like Jesus Christ (God Incarnate) because if it were that easy he would be the most powerful man in the universe and we would have no need for He-Man... My 2 cents!!

I think it is pretty funny. I don't like the blonde hair, it looks weird and out of place. Everything else looks pretty cool in a fun sort of way. I really love the shield. Congratulations to Daniel Benedict, he must be on cloud 9 right now.

Congratulations Daniel (masque)!! What a unique and cool concept you created for MOTU. I really like how this idea of a living golem like character is made out of Castle Grayskull's stone walls. If Skeletor can create monsters out of rocks and lava, the Sorceress can surely create some out of the castle. I'm interested in his bio. Will he be an army builder type character or yet another Eternian defender of the Power sword like Vikor and Oo-Lar? He does look like he may have been fused with CG as well via magic<< which I prefer to think him as. I would like his hair a bit darkened though, other than that, such a great character!

SUPER CONGRATULATIONS, DANIEL!!!!!
abit sorry you didn't get to have the shock of the announcement DURING the panel (how DO they keep screwing stuff up like this?!?!???), but...

absolute sincere congratulations, man! awesome!
and... for what it's worth, even my initial reaction was "too cool! i LOVE it!"
nice job... and, thanks for your contribution to the brand!

Really? That's what won? Congrats to the winner, but come on. While I was not expecting to win since I had to rush my drawings, I was at least hoping they would have picked a female character as the winner. We already have enough sausage in MOTU.

I completely agree, I wish we had at LEAST one new character that was female. Pretty disappointing in that department, but defiantly digging the idea and concept of this character nevertheless.

if that's real, I quite like the design. hate the name and fear the potential bio.

Agreed.

I think he looks cool (would have done without the hair, though) and I'll definitely add him. Don't care much for the name, but couldn't care less for the bio as I don't think they matter for anything anyway. And since the name is just what will be on the package I will be tearing off, I don't care much about that either.
